Question

Olive can read 5 pages of her book in 30 minutes at what unit is olive reading

Answer 1

Answer:

1 page per 6 minutes or 10 pages per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that when rates are expressed as quantity of 1 they are called unit rates.

We can represent our problem as unit rate in two ways; either by getting our numerator as 1 or our denominator as 1.

$\frac{5 pages}{30 minutes} =\frac{1}{6 minutes}$

We know that an hour has 60 minutes. We can get our denominator equal to 60 minutes by multiplying by 2.

$\frac{5*2}{30*2}= \frac{10 pages}{60 minutes}$

$\frac{10 pages}{hour}$

Therefore, Olive is either reading at 10 pages per hour or 1 page per 6 minutes.
